Mission statement

The mission of the Medical Faculty is to ensure that the Hospital achieves and maintains the highest level of healthcare quality and clinical results, with teaching and research in alignment to fulfil this purpose.

The Medical Faculty embraces its commitment to work with the Hospital Management and the Board of Governors to ensure the smooth running of the Institution. The aim is for the Hospital’s executive (management) and representative (Executive Council of the Medical Faculty) channels to be consistent and in harmony, complying with current legislation and avoiding duplications.

The Medical Faculty uses medical professionalism as the framework of reference. This must represent a commitment to a code of conduct, both in terms of the individual contract between doctor and patient, but also a social contract. In other words, the commitment to learning and the quest for excellence in terms of attitudes and aptitudes must reap benefits not only for the individual patient but also for society as a whole.
